Mr.. Porter, one of the school board
informs us that the amount of funds
available for school purposes in TINS
district amounts to, for the employ
memt of a teacher, three hundred,
three dollars and seventy cents. That
to secure building, nine dollars and
sixty cents. Special fund, eleven
dollars and twenty eight cents. From
this it will be seen that there Is no
money to pay for the rent of school
room, and in order to have q school
for the next six months, it will be
necessary to raise, by subscription
money, sufficient to rent Il suitable
building, although the salary is low
they will be able to secure teacher
at fifty dollars a month, which from
the available funds will secure a
teacher six months. In addition to
the amount to be raised, to pay rent,
there will be other expenses, that
will be met by such means as the
board can command, at any rate the
board will loose no time in perfect
ing arrangements that will again
have our school open.

We would not speak to the west
ern man as TO the course to pursue
when taking up land in this country,
as he has learned by experience what
is necessary to bring about success,
but those coming here from the far
east are generally attracted by the
novelty of new country and fall
into ideas, excited by the boom and
hustle of the first settling of a new
country, and too often enter into
various schemes, instead of attending
to the improvement of their claims
as it was their first intention TO do,
which if they are not successful
causes disappointment and dIscour-
agement. To settle on and improve
claim is not exactly to recline on a
bed OF roses, yet by diligence and
economy it is the easiest and surest
way to obtain home and indepen,
dence we know of, but in most cases
at the cost of hard labor, denial Of
many of the luxuries and ptasantries
of life, this of course only for the
first two or three years. |, requires
some work even in this country to
make farm, support for a family,
and the man on claim, who expects
to come to town three or four times
a week and put in the day, no matter
at what. unless it is labor for pay, is
one that will surely fail.
